Top 10 albums released between 2005-2009?

So we've done all this top 10 of the decade bullshit, but every time i do that everything i list, and mst people list, ends up being from the early half of the decade. What are your favorite albums released in the second half of 2000's decade (2005-2009)?

Shit, not mine - cause K-Rino dropped Blood Doctrine in 2008 and Solitary Confinement in 2009. Mr. Sche dropped Immortal Thug in 2010. Those would make my list. Jacka dropped The Jack Artist in 2005. Tear Gas was in 2009. J Dilla's The Shining was 2006 and that was one of the best produced albums ever... as well as Donuts.

Cage-Hell's Winter
Fort Minor-Rising Tied
Bizzy Bone-A Song 4 U
Tech N9ne-KOD
Alex King-Reincarnated

See kev that is why you can not claim to be a K-Rino fan. You got weak azz Game on your list. a weak nas album, a dope, but not that dope, T-Kash album... THE PRODUCT? 8 DIAGRAMS? LUPE???

LOl...I hear you man but so what. Rino is one of my fav lyricists/rappers period but album wise he does not rank as high as others.

I will never understand how you can not like what are considered universally his best albums in BD and SC.

Just because his albums are not high in my rankings does mean I do not like them. I really like BD and especially SC but when compared to the ones I listed they fall short album wise.

I like big and broad production, that has always been my thing. I'm not the biggest fan of basement beats. And before you guys take a permanent snap shot of that I do like basement beats at times.
